Our dedicated and compassionate veterinarian, Dr. Katie Schauberger and her husband will be relocating to Milwaukee Wisconsin in June. We will all miss her superb caring and incredible dedication to her patients. Dr. Josh Leven (Dr. Marc Leven's son) and Dr. Kelly Cavanagh will be joining our practice in June to fill her shoes. Dr. Josh worked at AMC as a pet care assistant, tech assistant and vet assistant while attending undergrad at GVSU. Dr. Cavanagh attended MSU undergrad and has worked at practices in the Detroit metro area. Both graduated from MSU's College of Veterinary Medicine in May - just as Dr. Schauberger did. We welcome them to our staff. Look for their bios soon!
The Truth on Animal Hoarding
We've been hearing about animal hoarding in the news lately. Hoarding is a form of animal abuse - as is neglect, abandonment, malnourishment, leaving animals chained up without food, water and exercise or out in the weather. If you suspect animal cruelty, it's best to contact your local animal control officer or the local police. Pressing criminal charges is a last resort - most of the time education is the way to prevent repeat offenses. Don't hesitate to inform authorities if you suspect animal abuse - it's everyone's duty to protect animals.
